I saw these bowls the other day and immediately thought, “Wow, now I don’t have an excuse for overeating!”

The Classic Measure Up Bowl is great for measuring cereals, fruits, soups, chilis, pastas, rice, salads, etc. The Classic features 1/2, 1, 1-1/2 and 2 cups pre-measured portions on the interior of the bowl:

So clever! These are quite a find.

When you are eating out, a simple trick is to use your hand to help approximate portion sizes.
• A fist = 1 cup
• Palm of a woman’s hand = 3 ounces
• Palm of a man’s hand = 5 ounces
• Thumb tip = 1 teaspoon
• Thumb tip = 1 teaspoon
